Creation of a society of ecologically sensitive and caring human beings can be done not only through scientific research and publications alone but also through the environmental humanities which also include literary scholarship and representation. Reading and understanding of literature with an environmental perception has a didactic, pedagogic and inspiring effect on people. In this regard, Shakespeare can be considered a major exemplum from the literary past. His depiction of the natural world and his use of ecological settings and landscapes in some of his plays can be read in terms of an environmental awareness. While in his comedy, misrule affects the weather,misrule in his tragedy is caused by the weather, and climate, therefore, acts as an agent of fate. In his mature tragedy King Lear, he presents the influence of weather upon man, and of man upon weather. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream the weather is clearly disturbed by human behaviour while in Romeo and Juliet, weather dictates the mood and the fate of the characters. As You Like It can be read as an environmental allegory. Like Twelfth Night in The Tempest, the characters reluctantly find themselves at the mercy of nature, and are forced to endure its challenges. His ecological sensitivity can also be witnessed in Ophelia’s catalogue of flowers in Hamlet. Thus, there is no iota of doubt that Shakespeare registered his ecological sensitivity through most of his plays in which interactions between man and nature are in delicate and intricate balance.
